Frequently Asked Questions
The following table lists frequently asked questions and answers.
Can I log into the
Remote Console
Switch using Active
Directory across
multiple forests?
The RCS Active Directory query algorithm only
supports a single tree in a single forest.
Does the login to the
Remote Console
Switch using Active
Directory work in mixed
mode (that is, the
domain controllers in
the forest run different
operating systems,
such as Microsoft
Windows NT® 4.0,
Windows 2000, or
Windows Server
2003)?
Yes. In mixed mode, all objects used by the RCS
querying process (among user, SIP Device Object, and
Association Object) have to be in the same domain.
The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and
Computers snap-in checks the mode and limits users
in order to create objects across domains if in mixed
mode.
Does using the RCS
with Active Directory
support multiple
domain environments?
Yes. The domain forest function level must be in Native
mode or Windows 2003 mode. In addition, the groups
among Association Object, Remote Console Switch
user objects, and SIP Device Objects (including
Association Object) must be universal groups.
